Last night on HLN the sheriff said that today's search would be north of the one yesterday and may be related to "some other person of interest."

But the meeting place went from 5959 W. Bay Rd to 6601 W. Bay Rd. So yeah, it's north of the one yesterday, but not by much. It doesn't seem like they are leaving that general area, so my guess is that he was just trying to play it cool with that comment.

Sorry if this has been answered, I am catching up. So the national average for RE is 6 a year. This is a hard figure because 20% of the agents make 80% of the sales. So you may have some in there closing 0-1 a year and some closing 80 a year working on a team. The new agent thing and not producing in the first year may be common, but it isn't the rule. I closed 2 houses in my first year as a very part time agent; but another agent in my office closed 30 in his first year. He took 27 listings JUST THIS MONTH ALONE as a 2nd year agent. Some people are just more motivated to sell more houses, and with her personality, and wide network, I can see her doing amazingly well.

My friend has been an incredibly successful realtor right out of the gate. It helps that he is well connected in the community, charismatic, and smoking hot, but he works his butt off so his wife can stay home with their little boys. Most of his business is word of mouth, and I assume Crystal's business is the same. She seems like she is very much a people person and makes the customer feel valued, so she probably gets tons of word of mouth referrals.

I love turning off read receipts for certain people. Sometimes I don't want to respond right away, but hate seeing that little red circle with a number showing unread messages.

If you turn off read receipts, do all of the previous ones go away? Does that make sense?

-They may have been intermittently using the audio option for text messages. Its savvy, advanced (millennials)quick, no typing and safer for driving. BUT you have to choose 'KEEP' after it is sent if you want them to remain in your history. Its a great time saver for biz and personal.

LE may have not shared it if there are some between she and EX, & kids. I can see her and the kids sending verbal 'I love you's' many times over. Kids love it and they don't have to be of spelling age to send text.

I don't see the bf being that kind of savvy in my opinion. He seems to be so taken over by the simplest of things. Mesmerized by self recognition in a needy way.

I really hope so. I know Hargrave keeps mentioning that they have hundreds of hours of footage to go through from multiple different sources, but it seems to me that the smartest places to start would be the boyfriend's home and work, the motel, and the ex's home and work. And so far the we only know for sure that they've reviewed the boyfriend and hotel footage.

BBM above...

Don't forget (as reported) highway CCTV & plate readers...+ forensics specialists, IT specialists & interrogation/interview specialists...and I'M CERTAIN there's LOTS more NOT being reported that IS going on behind the scenes.

"THEY got this!!!!" :wink:

Also, if I read the text exchange between she and ex correctly,
I am guessing that she arrived very shortly after his text asking if she was close. No need to text when you're about there.
Maybe that's when she told him she and kids were going to bf's. And maybe she also told him about the cruise then too. And maybe that's when it got ugly.

My gut tells me that something happened when she arrived to get kids.

That weird other text a little later was a cover to make it seem like she didn't show. (Dishwasher arrived)

Of course, total speculation and all my own opinion.

This is very similar to what I was thinking. The dishwasher text is too random to be "real". There was over an hour between the time she texted she was on the way until he asked "how much longer". The could be explained by the above OR it could be that the "how much longer" and the "pick them up at PNP" could have even been after a confrontation involving whatever you might think. Then several hours later he sends out a random "casual" text to cover up so it looks like everything is as usual. She apparently never picked up the kids, right? so if she never got to his house, don't you think there would have been a few more inquiries, especially if he took the kids to his work place to be picked up?

Oh weird. I didn't know that people used that feature for that! I just use the regular talk to text. That feature to send recordings is only ever accidentally used on my phone lol.

-PLEASE direct me on what a 'broken quote' is. I want to follow all that applies in being productive and rule binding.

-I use it often now, as I just came into the 'advanced' in-the-know feature less than a year ago. It was of course made known to me by my humble teenage niece.
 
I REALLY wish they would either rule out the ex or the boyfriend or both.

Watch it be neither the ex or the boyfriend and be someone we have never heard about. Jmo
 
I caught this, as well. It doesn't seem that it has been mentioned at all, unless I missed it. Seems odd that it's not being referred to.

The picture of her texts with her ex show that he sent something else after the dishwasher one. So he didn't just say the dishwasher thing and never send anything again. We can't see the time or text though.

He might have been wary of sending a ton of where are you texts. If he hoped to reconcile and she had previously complained that he was controlling and nagged her, he might have wanted to give her space.

It's weird that he never told her not to come to his job. But he also may have been pissed that she wasn't responding and hadn't shown up so he didn't tell her. And he was waiting for her to call or text about being at PBP. Little bit of payback for not communicating better.

I wonder if she was often flaky. Like she told him she was on her way at 7:01 but apparently didn't even leave for another 20+minutes. I know I'm a little crazy about being on time but I would be annoyed and maybe let her waste time driving to my job too.

I think she did send the Dallas text though. She was just caught up in her new relationship and not communicating with her uncle like she normally did so he was suspicious. But it was sent the night before so seems real after all.

Jmo to me the dishwasher text is only odd because she is missing. I don't think it is odd to let her know that, especially if she it was for her new place and she would have to be there.

...After initially battling flooding and storm weather, investigators are now trying to work through their lengthy list of persons of interest in the case, the sheriff says.

“She [McDowell] had a history of several romantic relationships,” Hawthorne says, adding, “She has just thousands of friends and a very successful real estate business. And amid that real estate business, there are all kinds of aspects that could give different people motives, whether it be the jealousy of her success or the possibility of somebody discovering that she was in an inappropriate romantic relationship with somebody.”

I can see him sending as an excuse to talk to her.. I've done stuff like that before. WHen somebody hasn't answered my previous texts and I want to talk to them but i don't want to seem over attatched or annoying, any excuse to text them I would take.
